We have a lot of gear on this tour, actually more than we ever had before. Mainly it's our new stage set that requires extra space. It's getting to a point where our Nightliner-bus with trailer is getting too small, but still two veichles will be too big. Caught in the middle. When packing up after the first show in Hamburg, it was obvious that we have reached our limits. With the whole bus and trailer completely filled up with stuff, it was still shitloads of stuff that didn't fit. Bare in mind, that we have taken action to keep things as small and easy as possible, like sharing gear between some of the bands, it's still not enough. We ended up filling all kinds of places in the bus with cases and boxes. When i woke up the morning after Hamburg, i couldn't see the floor besides my bed as it was filled with stuff...

In the afternoon in Berlin we were invited to a kind of a goth-clothing store for a signing session (the store name is XtraX, www.x-tra-x.de). That was a bit different, but even more different that after the session we were free to pick what ever we'd like in the store, at significant amount.. So here we were, the whole band running around in the store picking free stuff. It was pretty funny though, and i don't think we even hit the significant amount we were given, but we had a good time and we got some really cool stuff for sure. I think we might end up in the Leipzig store as well!

The show in Berlin was good as well (not as good as the Hamburg show, but pretty damn close), i hope the good feeling stays for the rest of the trip!
